Fetzer Merlot 2006

Vineyards : Valley Oaks
Wine: Merlot

Location: California
Year: 2006

Purchased at: Walmart
Price: $7.50

Description on the bottle:

It has an easy, approachable style with aromas of ripe plums and flavors of blackberry and cherry. This wine goes great with just about any meal, making it a good choice to have on hand for every day.

Color: dark red

My experience:

The taste is rather strong for me, sometimes even with a subtle hint of bitterness. It feels as if the flavor is not quite balanced - some are overpowering others. In fact, it even overpowered the dish I was having it with. This wine probably has a good alcoholic content; after two glasses, I already feel a quite a buzz. Overall, can't say that I really enjoyed it.

Rating: 3/10
